Taking a short break from my D&D website for a bit, and back into game development. Dev for the IGT is still on hiatus, Basic Fun Toys still has yet to talk to any of us.. 7 months now? pretty sure they just want the IGT to quietly go away.. sadly we have soooo many games we could be publishing on it, but they wont let us.. sorry guys! In the meantime, I'm going to venture back into the absolutely NON money making google play market I think..

One of my favorite games is Best Fiends.. I absolutely love the drag to match type games, and started a couple of my own a long time ago.. got quite far on them, but never quite right.. Now I'm picking up that old code and reworking it and adding a hefty dosage of AI usage to help move it over.. So far pieces drop into place, you can touch and drag to select your pieces, or you can press and hold to auto-select a random path of matching pieces.. level editor is started.. so coming along nicely..

Sadly, we're 6 months or so into the acquisition of arcade1up by Basic Fun Toys and still no word from basic fun. Not a single reach out to any of the developers except the same 2 poor finance people and it usually takes a lot of prodding to get them to even answer. Apparently Basic Fun Toys doesn't care of about the game table .. or the customers who own one. Especially considering how little it would take to open it back up to us for development.. Sorry guys, everyone who spent 1k or more on one of these. No new games for you..

ALright, well it's getting a little better. this time Basic Fun Toys was only 2 weeks late with payments.. better than 2 months.. however, they STILL have not gotten us any kind of community manager and NO ONE except 2 people in finance have ever reached out to us. No one knows what the status of the IGT is, units are still operating, and im assuming existing stock being sold, but no word from anyone Basic Fun Toys if they have any plans for the IGT and letting any of us develop for it again. At one point there was a project by a couple people to get a custom firmware on the table, and apparently Basic Fun Toys did not like that, and issued a cease and desist order. So obviously they're aware they own the product and its rights.. they're just choosing to make owners suffer with a lack of any new content..

I actually hope someone from Basic Fun Toys reads this post too.. Though I DID finally receive a letter today dated March 16th .. Nice to know they're sending out messages to us developers without actually having us on their email lists to receive it! :) Thanks guys!

Well… this has been fun. NOT As most people know by now, Arcade1Up was acquired by BasicFun! on December 4th or 5th. And since that acquisition? Most of us developers working on the Infinity Game T…

So, where have we been?
About nine months. And I know that’s a long stretch without updates, so let’s just be straight about it.

As most of you have probably seen, Arcade1Up was acquired by Basic Fun!. Normally, that kind of change is exciting — new leadership, new direction, new opportunities.

Right now though, we’re in a bit of a holding pattern.

Since the transition, those of us developing for the IGT/B platform haven’t had a way to publish new content, and communication has been minimal at best. We don’t yet have any clear contacts at Basic Fun! or any real guidance on what the future looks like for third-party developers, just silence.

So at the moment, everything is paused.

But here’s the part I think people deserve to know:

So, where have we been? Yeah… it’s been a while.About nine months. And I know that’s a long stretch without updates, so let’s just be straight about it.As most of you have probabl…
